    Stony Point Penguins

    My Scholarship entry - Unlikely place of hope for penguins

    Stony Point is fringed by the residential area of the coastal town of Betty’s Bay, creating an encouraging if incongruous impression of wildlife and humans co-existing in apparent harmony. Volunteers helped set up numerous artificial nest boxes around the site a decade ago, which has helped to substantially boost numbers at this colony, and the suburban backdrop probably restricts access of numerous terrestrial predators to the penguins.
